It's not true in this case? tee hee
Here is excerpt from the link in OP
Sunday night marked a tipping point for NASCAR. Sunday night, the series disclosed that someone had left a noose — the symbol of this nation’s original sin, the undeniable message of intimidation, a sign so cruel and cutting it defies imagination — in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace, the Cup series’ lone Black driver.
Nobody left a noose, the rope pulldowns with loop knots have been there at least since 2017.
It seemed a relic from an earlier era, a time of black-and-white Civil Rights photographs, where casual racism was as evident as the cruelty on the faces of people who would grow up to be the grandparents of some of today’s NASCAR fans.
There was no "relic" just a simple loop knot which most of the garages at Talladega have.
And, for a NASCAR garage, it seemed all too believable. There’s your tipping point right there. Whether this was done as intimidation, or prank gone wrong, or any of a dozen other reasons ranging from stupidity to conspiracy, it seemed absolutely logical that someone associated with NASCAR would stoop to the lowest, most cowardly, most despicable act possible short of actual violence.
Sorry, no tipping point, FBI concluded it was not racist intimidation. Somebody from Nascar did stoop to the lowest, most cowardly, most despicable act. His name is Bubba Wallace. He is still claiming this is a racist hate crime.
